Did a good job protecting our floor as they cleaned our chimney. Only complaint is the crew didn’t sweep up the lint all over our gangway after they cleaned the dryer vent.

We have been a customer of Vertical Chimney Care for a couple of years and they continue to deliver exceptional service. We recently had our fireplace serviced for our yearly cleaning. Tom G and team were friendly, knowledgeable, and thorough in their service. Thank you Vertical Chimney Care!

We used Vertical for a retractable Sunsetter Awning for our deck. Kyle was very helpful explaining our options and the different features available. It was a very low pressure process and Kyle was available to answer questions.
The awning was delivered and installed within the timeline provided and the installation was smooth.
The awning not only protects the deck from the heat of the sun, but also provides a dry outdoor space during light rain.

We knew that our chimney and fireplace needed some serious work so we got quotes from several different companies. The quote from Vertical Chimney Care was not only reasonable and comprehensive, but Tom was professional, thorough, took time to explain everything, and provided great recommendations.
It was an easy decision to go with Vertical. Once we had an agreement, they were very prompt and scheduled us even earlier than they had originally quoted. Masonry was completed one day, while all of the other work was done the next week in a single day. Tom and Dan worked a long day to get it done, including installation of a gas line to convert from wood to gas logs. Then they took time to explain the system and its features at the end of a long day and to make sure that we were happy with everything. It turned out beautifully!

Bernardo and Jaime were thorough, professional and kept our home very clean throughout the process of cleaning and inspecting our chimney. They were able to provide an estimate for converting our wood burning fireplace into a gas fireplace.

My Vertical Chimney story started on
Sat. 3-11-23 the Appt. I scheduled to have someone come out to see why water was leaking into our Basement & Furnace from the Chimney Piping. They sent a young man out named Tom Gleason.
And Honestly, he was Absolutely the Nicest & Considerate Person you could imagine allowing access into your home.
He introduced himself & his assistant & I showed him the problem in the Basement & then he went on the roof. After inspecting the Chimney he sent pictures of what he found to my phone.
And he gave me 2 Quotes for the Repairs. One was the top of the line Repair & the other was one that was more budget friendly. Unfortunately, even with the more budget friendly quote. It was outside of my current budget. He tried applying some discounts to help me out more but I still couldn’t afford it..
I kept his number & once I went back to work & had the money to get the work done I sent him a text on a weekend thinking he would respond on Monday. But he responded shortly after I sent the text.
He was SO Happy that I was able to get the repairs done & said he would have the office call me Monday Morning to set up an Appt.
He came on Thur. 8-10-23 & just did a Phenomenal Job.. He installed all new Piping in the Basement to go to the Hot Water Heater & to the Furnace. It looked Amazing. And he took pictures of the finished work of the Chimney & it looked Great... way better than before. He literally went Above & Beyond. And was Just So Happy to be making the Repairs for us.
I felt Extremely Safe with him in our Home, since it’s just my Disabled Mother & I.
I wouldn’t let someone inside who wasn’t kind & respectful.
If you need Chimney Repairs & want an Honest & Cost Effective Quote.
And an Experienced Technician who is such a Stand Up Young Man who is Extremely Knowledgeable & a Chimney Expert who is trying to Make Sure He gives you the Best Price… Then You MUST Call Vertical Chimney & ask them to please send Tom
to your Home!!
You Won’t Be Sorry..
